I agree, especially when Tim Calvert (rip) was in the band. I like the newer stuff but Dreaming Neon Black was so dark and heavy, in part I think because of Tim's input.
i stood with Jeff during Warrel Danes memorial slideshow , and he stayed composed the whole time , idk how he didnt lose it in the slightest , but seeing him laugh at some of the goofy pics that were shown , helped me from not losing it myself
Jeff Loomis is an Alien. He is amazing at everything he does from any instrument he picks up, to writing, to throwing perfect spirals as far as anyone can. Definitely one of the Number 1 guitarists of all time. I hope one day the full story of what happened with Warrel and the time line of his last album. There is much more to it than has been said. Let's start talking about the initial producer/ studio that Warrel went too and what happened. I wanted him on a plane out of there immediately. I was with Warrel for 2 weeks before he went down to record. Warrel was doing great, he had it together and even avoided any excesses and partying. He was eating and cooking amazing meals as always but healthy foods all the way. We didn't drink at all even when we went to shows. At home he was completely enveloped in writing and prepping for the new album. I guess it wouldn't be a secret now but he had written alot for Sanctuary and he talked deeply with me about his Master plan to Bring Nevermore back together and bring his greatest Album to Fruition. He even played and sang parts of a few songs for me. It was like him pouring his soul out when he talked about it. This was going to be his ultimate focus once he finished this solo album. He spoke a lot about Jeff. Warrel had a huge heart and a lot of Love and a speacial connection for his Brothers in Sanctuary and others. But I will say that there was a very special relationship and almost longing to Bring Jeff, Jim and Warrel back into one big fucking HUG and create this NEVERMORE album. I want to say so much but I think I will leave it at...... Warrel Dane was Truly a METAL GOD! He was an idol to me as a kid and I met him in the oddest way possible, if we hadn't become friends for months before I knew who he was the. I probably would have lost it at being over whelmed by who he was and what he meant to me and how much I learned from him. But I was Very Fortunate to have been his Friend a Brother over the decades. He was a beautiful man that was incredibly insightful and exquisitely elegant in a very Dark and heavy way. Warrel was Truly Beautiful in his Imaculate Disorder. He made this world a better place for just have been. His lyrics were immensely inspirational, very relatable, and Healing, incredibly deep and challenging to the most philosophical. He was a guide into searching for higher forms of reasoning and understanding. Warrel also could warn us of what is to come and describe what we are in for if things don't change. Deffinetly a man that stands apart and could paint a picture of what it's like to be in another's shoes. I believe he was the most versatile lyricist in Metal. He had a vocal pallet that had color and feelings without end. He could sing to you and reach right inside of your soul with his. He poured his soul out and let it open for the world to see. If there is one who has found away for their consciousness to travel on, it would be Warrel. I really want to rewrite this properly, I have far to much to say to keep it all in time. I'm happy and heart broken now and he left a huge hole in my life but every time I look into that empty spot, and expect a heart wreaching void.... it's not empty! WD is there, that ever present smile witty comments, sense of humor, advice, always being straight with me, always open minded, never ending conversations of EVERY subject or philosophy, on and on. He didn't really give vocal lessons but talking vocal techniques and such , he truly was a wealth of knowledge. I just remember everytime I visited or we talked it always came to this bond between Warrel, Jim and Jeff. I hope one day to talk to Jeff about my last time with Warrel. I also feel for Jim , Jim without Warrel, Warrel without Jim .. it was bad enough to see Warrel and Jim without Jeff. There was a very unique bond something magical between them. And Yes he was incredibly close with others and there is a bit of a list of people that he spoke so highly of and cared deeply for. I'm gonna stop here. This isn't my place. I don't want anyone to think that what I am saying covers Warrels life and leaves anyone out. Warrel had a vast life and loved and lived it well. I Love You Warrel, You Will Be Missed.... Thank You for visiting me in my Dreams to say we will meet again. that meant everything. And Thank You for Expanding my mind in so many ways... Meet Me in the Dream Time Waters Brother.
Very well said sir....I have been a Metal fan since 78 and Stained Class....I consider myself a veteran...I was there at the beginning for the most part...Along the way I would tend to focus on a band that I loved and really hone in on it...memorizing everything about it....Ive heard Hell Awaits and War And Pain atleast a thousand times..only so much time in the day to listen to everything...I heard nevermore for the first time in 2005...Godless Endeavor...It was killer ofcourse but swimming amongst a sea of other bands at the time...I didn't put it on my every day playlist....its now 2020...and I've been on an absolute TEAR with Nevermore....Really digging in to the genius that they were...Not sure if I've heard emotion in vocals conveyed better ever.... It just really hits hard...anxiety with an overtone of calmness... I only wish I would have paid more attention when things were good... Definitely catching up with the respect part.... Warrel seemed like a very genuine guy.... Thanks for posting a small fly on the wall aspect...🤘🤘👊👊☕☕
Today i was informed of WD death. I grew up with his lyrics, he was such an inspirational model to my own writting of lyrics. Life happened and i hadn't written any lyrics/music or listen to metal for years. And today i craved to listen to his words. Now i am in tears. He said in an interview that he waits until the end of his life to choose where he stands as regards belief. That it was all about the experience. I hope he found out what is out there, and i hope his heart is not broken anymore, untouched by anything negative. I hope he is happy, reunited with his dad. Since he doesn't know me, tell him hi from me , please. :')
I remember distinctly the morning I heard, before I went to bed the Heart Collector was just stuck in my head, checked my phone when I woke up and saw the news.
Every question doesn't need to be followed with that repetitive snip-it of track , kind of breaks the flow of the interview. Apart from that great insight into Jeff's life. Real humble guy for someone so ridiculously talented. Thanks for the upload!
He is not only one of the best metal guitarist and songwriter out there but also an awesome human being, treat people with respect and talk about them with respect, rare bird. Thanks for the interview!
My thoughts exactly. And while heartbreaking, I am very much looking forward to Sanctuary paying tribute to Warrel next month. I'm happy they're continuing with the tour.
I wouldn't want any more Nevermore. It would be pointless now. Still not crazy about Alice In Chains continuing on. How can you have more Nevermore with no Loomis and especially now no Warrel?
Dustin Tavolazzi it’d Be cool to have people like Matt Barlow and other great vocalist get together with the band and have a tribute show. But I agree no new mevermore
No offence to Arch Enemy, but Jeff is criminally overqualified for that band. And I know it might be blasphemic, but I'd definitely want to hear Nevermore pick up where they left with ZP Theart on vocals.
Thank you Jeff for keeping metal guitar alive...." Justice for all " seemed to be the last and them came Nevermore....we are all lucky that y'all found each other . So progressive and riffy ....what a treat ! Plus I live in Waukesha so I get to brag bout where your from. Nevermore hits tones inside me that no other band can . Thank you again for sharing your craft with the world .
I always feel it must be so tough for these guys when they get asked this kind of stuff. Of course we all want to know, because we're emotionally invested in their music (and we Nevermore fans can be intense), but it must be hard for him to talk about Warrel's death in front of a camera.
Jeff is a great guitar player. But I do miss Nevermore a lot. Nevermore without Warrel Dane would be Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant. It is just not appropiate. I got all their CD's, Dvd and a lot of shirts. Will be listening to Nevermore once in a while, when the mood is right. But it is one of the most underrated bands ever. They deserved a much bigger fanbase. Last show of Nevermore I went to, was cancelled. That is a bummer, when I think of it now..rip Warrel.
They couldn't reform Nevermore, as much as I love Jeff, Warrell was that unique sound of Nevermore and made them instantly recognizable, no one would be able to imitate his voice
Jeff's such a nice guy. Wish him all the best. I look forward to some Jeff music on the next Arch Enemy album. At least one or two songs must be there from him but with an AE twist to them. He's definitely earned it. AE🤘
This was a really weak interview. Whoever came up with the interview questions definitely could have asked better questions. 1. Are you moving from Schecter Guitars to Jackson Guitars? 2. Will you be putting out a new solo album or another Conquering Dystopia album? 3. Will you be contributing more on the next Arch Enemy record? 4. Where is your favorite place to tour? 5. What is your craziest tour story? To ask if Nevermore was going to be reunited after the passing of Warrel was just stupid and then to be nosy about his substance abuse issues. It's kind of appalling. Come up with better interview questions, and maybe change the typefont for the questions. Better grammar would also be a plus!
He's not moving from Schecter to Jackson , but he will be playing 2 Jackson guitars that he has on upcoming tours , he wants the freedom to play what ever he wants !
Michael Frey, if you took a little time to check who Loud tv is you would've found out that they're French and you would've cut them some slack regarding the grammar.
Jeff played like monster in nevermore with a dashing music, riffs of killer rhytm & shred, when in AE. lol, i can't says a word :V. But life's go on....
Warrell was really tortured man his life and what he went through and how he described his dreams & mind was horrific. He had a very tragic life and death
somehow, i always thought Jeff looks like a young James Hetfield from the Kill Em All to Master of Puppets days.. didn't really listened to Nevermore but the first i heard Jeff was on his solo album and it was super awesome!
I suspect that when Jeff quit Nevermore that he lost all the rights to the name. It's possible that he couldn't reform the band now even if he wanted to. That said, he has writing credits on every single song. So he can play Nevermore music all he wants. He just can't call it Nevermore.
Please do another Nevermore album Jeff!! As one last tribute to one of the best singers metal had. You don't even have to tour for it. Just as a remembrance for that magnificent creature that walked this metal earth.
It's so sad that so many complaing he should leave and bla bla bla, he is happy in AE, AE is a great band and for those of you who doesn't like it, though luck. In my opinion, this is the best line up in AE ever.
true dat...I used to live in seattle and got to meet jeff..what a cool dude and the shreddingest of them all...used to see Warrel and the guys out and about...never met them, but....I loved Nevermore and Sanctuary...and always will...
You can't blame him with the way the industry is today.... He doesn't write any music for them though, so his free time is probably spent on his solo albums.
nice interview but what the internet really want to know is: What happened with Schecter guitars? and how is the relationship now with Jackson Guitars!
he told me , he just wants to be able to play whatever guitar he wants onstage , and he just so happens to have a couple of Jacksons that he is going to tour with ,said hes not looking to get endorsed , but ya never know
I really dislike this interview format. It requires me to be watching the video so I know what the questions are, and it's also really obnoxious to blast loud riffs every 30 seconds.
This video deserves a thumbs up just because of the cheeky intro song. Nicely played, Loud tv! XD 3:15 - It's the first time I've heard anyone referring to the Seattle's grunge movement and rightly so not mentioning Nirvana. And Soundgarden (1984) and Alice In Chains (1987) didn't start it, they were around long before the Grunge movement is said to have started. Pearl Jam were the "younger" of the 3 bands Jeff mentioned (1990).
funny thing is, my band shared a room with Alice In Chains at one end of the hall , at the other end of the hall was Nevermore , Warrel invited me in to their room back in 1991 when the 1st album was being written , we were also a metal band trying to stay a float through the grunge lol the place was called NAF that we practiced at !
Interesting and on topic questions ,interview had a nice flow.Mr Loomis surely plays for a decent band we all understand or can figure the reason why. Since thought he has a legacy left en route ,why not leaving the convenience of payroll and go instead get a new singer that can actually perform Nevermore songs/keeping the legacy up. I mean,who's gonna remember him in the end of the day as an Arch Enemy guitarist. Not trying to get salty at all,the way he talks about Warrel (as the Warrel did about Jeff in the past) has dignity and you can realise he loved him. But Jeff ,get your shit together man, Nevermore are bigger than this .Get the dragon in the river again!!!!
Play the same songs for 18 years while watching one of your best friends kill themselves via substance abuse. Eventually those songs get attached to a painful memory of fights and bad times overall and like he said, he's made a name for himself and it's time to hang it up. Also, legacy doesn't pay the bills.
We all grew up with memories that had a mixture of both good and bad incidents but its up to us to abstract and evaluate what we'd like to keep.For someone that keeps talking with such a compansionate tone about a person,yes its clearly what he'd like to reflect to us all.Its the right way to do after all,raise the level and keep the bad stuff among the family. Nevertheless,i'd like to add as someone that did my fair share in the music industry,range of these bands have built up a legacy throughout the years that definitely have made em able to pay the bills. Nowadays this is something impossible for most of the bands to achieve(especially under the genre of metal). Even if we apparently approach it under different prism,my comment does not wanna to provoke anyone. Jeff Loomis is a guy that refers to him with great respect and im sure he'll carry on with the legacy and the heritage Nevermore own,all that at some point.
The biggest fart that I have ever laid was done while I was listening to " this Godless endeavor " from Nevermore. That memory has imprinted on me forever.
Loomis is an extremely talented guitar player. As much as I love Arch Enemy, for me Nevermore was THE top metal band. RIP Warrel Dane.
I agree, especially when Tim Calvert (rip) was in the band. I like the newer stuff but Dreaming Neon Black was so dark and heavy, in part I think because of Tim's input.
I didn't know Warrel Dane died. This saddens me a lot. I loved his lyrics and his voice, I loved his style, I loved Nevermore. RIP.
I was a fan of AE before I got to know Nevermore ,but man Nevermore is in a whole other level
For real, it must be a cakewalk for Jeff to go from shredding in Nevermore to Arch Enemy
Yes they are amazing dude
Jeff Loomis is a real professional both playing and with the public. A positive inspiration for players!
"Would you reform Nevermore?"
asked right after talking of Warrel passing... Yo WTF
You could tell Jeff was starting to need to hold his tears back about Warrell, let that pain flow through those bends brother. ❤🤘
i stood with Jeff during Warrel Danes memorial slideshow , and he stayed composed the whole time , idk how he didnt lose it in the slightest , but seeing him laugh at some of the goofy pics that were shown , helped me from not losing it myself

@@Tinka22 you just found out 4 days ago?
@@wickedfuctup yes unfortunatelly
I remember distinctly the morning I heard, before I went to bed the Heart Collector was just stuck in my head, checked my phone when I woke up and saw the news.
Jeff's such a great guitarist and never more was such an underrated band.what a shame such a talented group of guys never got more recognition.
mzw meathook you’re 100% right !
Every question doesn't need to be followed with that repetitive snip-it of track , kind of breaks the flow of the interview. Apart from that great insight into Jeff's life. Real humble guy for someone so ridiculously talented. Thanks for the upload!
Been there since Santuary. Only singer my heart broke since Layne. Rip. My metal brother.
The real question would be jeff loomis what the fuck are you doing in arch enemy? What a waste of talent..he is such a big guitar player..
He is not only one of the best metal guitarist and songwriter out there but also an awesome human being, treat people with respect and talk about them with respect, rare bird. Thanks for the interview!
Tibor N. Yes kind guy ! Thanks for the feedback !
Thank you for this, finally getting to hear his thoughts on Warrel Dane's passing helps dealing with the loss of such a tremendous talent.
you're welcome !
My thoughts exactly.
And while heartbreaking, I am very much looking forward to Sanctuary paying tribute to Warrel next month. I'm happy they're continuing with the tour.
I wouldn't want any more Nevermore. It would be pointless now. Still not crazy about Alice In Chains continuing on. How can you have more Nevermore with no Loomis and especially now no Warrel?

@@datboibaz Imagine Jeff loomis joining in writing a song of Ashes of Areas.
Erwin J Hell yeah van Williams used to be the drummer He’s in ghostship Octavius now and loomis has a song in that first cd.
No offence to Arch Enemy, but Jeff is criminally overqualified for that band.
And I know it might be blasphemic, but I'd definitely want to hear Nevermore pick up where they left with ZP Theart on vocals.

We all do miss nevermore
Thanks for the interview! A meeting with Nevermore ... would be memorable.
Rodrigo Vieira thank you
best lyricist ever Jeff! i agree! hes helped me through many hard times with just his poetry!
Cmon jeff, reunite with chris broderick and start a new progressive metal band, where you guys can shred on your hearts content...
They couldn't reform Nevermore, as much as I love Jeff, Warrell was that unique sound of Nevermore and made them instantly recognizable, no one would be able to imitate his voice

That is right jeff, warrel dane one of the best songwriters in metal.
One of my absolute favourite guitarists. Thanks for the interview!
Abhishek Dudeja thank you !
A very good interview. Loomis seems to be a humble guy and he is a very talented guitar player...
JL: Well poised, humble and of course, super talented. Also, never say never.
This was a really weak interview. Whoever came up with the interview questions definitely could have asked better questions.
1. Are you moving from Schecter Guitars to Jackson Guitars?
2. Will you be putting out a new solo album or another Conquering Dystopia album?
3. Will you be contributing more on the next Arch Enemy record?
4. Where is your favorite place to tour?
5. What is your craziest tour story?
To ask if Nevermore was going to be reunited after the passing of Warrel was just stupid and then to be nosy about his substance abuse issues.
It's kind of appalling. Come up with better interview questions, and maybe change the typefont for the questions. Better grammar would also be a plus!
Seriously, who the fuck would ask about a reunion at a time like this.
He's not moving from Schecter to Jackson , but he will be playing 2 Jackson guitars that he has on upcoming tours , he wants the freedom to play what ever he wants !
Michael Frey, if you took a little time to check who Loud tv is you would've found out that they're French and you would've cut them some slack regarding the grammar.
Loomis would take Arch Enemy to the next level, but Amott won't allow him to shine. What a tool.
Jeff already has plenty solo stuff the band is more than one person.
Lee Mcleod And? Also, tell that to Amott. He runs the one-trick-pony.
Lee Rochester Yeah what a buttplug.
Fuck AE.
the devil cried
Hopefully he will
this guy is well rounded, just by listening to him talk 1st time I've heard of him & warrel dane very interesting man.
Nevermore would destroy arch enemy ijs 🤷
what a cool dude and an absolute machine on guitar
Awesome music! 👍
Jeff played like monster in nevermore with a dashing music, riffs of killer rhytm & shred, when in AE. lol, i can't says a word :V. But life's go on....
Jeff is a real gentleman. Truly one of the most honorable and talented guitarists ever!
Wtf,he looks like Timo Tolkki (ex Stratovarius guitarist)
Warrell was really tortured man his life and what he went through and how he described his dreams & mind was horrific. He had a very tragic life and death
somehow, i always thought Jeff looks like a young James Hetfield from the Kill Em All to Master of Puppets days.. didn't really listened to Nevermore but the first i heard Jeff was on his solo album and it was super awesome!
i am a big fan of nevermore and jeff solo stuff i hope he comes to vancouver so i could meet him
I have Jeff's signature guitar. It is beast to play.
The red one or the black one?.....Schecter doesn't make the model, Nevermore, since Loomis and them parted ways.....
I suspect that when Jeff quit Nevermore that he lost all the rights to the name. It's possible that he couldn't reform the band now even if he wanted to. That said, he has writing credits on every single song. So he can play Nevermore music all he wants. He just can't call it Nevermore.
He is one of the right lead guitar player that would perfectly suit for Megadeth
I'm pretty sure he said somewhere that he auditioned when he was way younger and dave told him he was excellent, but too young or something like that.
First of all...
"Jeff Loomis from Nevermore"
He just works in Arch Enemy...
Please do another Nevermore album Jeff!! As one last tribute to one of the best singers metal had. You don't even have to tour for it. Just as a remembrance for that magnificent creature that walked this metal earth.
He and van Williams def need to make an album
Rip Warrel Dane
I heard of Jeff from reading Dave Mustaine book. But never heard him play until he joined arch enemy. He seems cool as fuck .
It's so sad that so many complaing he should leave and bla bla bla, he is happy in AE, AE is a great band and for those of you who doesn't like it, though luck. In my opinion, this is the best line up in AE ever.
legit question is he albino or just extremely white? kinda looks like jihnny winter.
Kyrell Jenkins he’s blond hair not albinos. And he lives in Seattle or in a tourbus so he doesn’t like sun 😉
He's also from Wisconsin. Neon White is a skin color up there.
Kyrell Jenkins dreaming neon white is his next album 🤘😎🤘
Thanks for sharing this interview, it was really great to hear his thoughts on Warrel and Nevermore.
Malentor thanks for your feedback !
:( the world lost an amazing musician when Warrel passed. So unfortunate
he knows, you know.
he should do an album with vam Williams
Loomis is a class act.
Jeff seems to be a really nice guy ❤️❤️
Loomis is the reason I own a schecter 7 string.
Class act...Jeff Loomis!!!...🤘🤘🤘
So Sad about Warrel. Man I wish he'd leave AE
i agree, but i also understand why hes doing it.
true dat...I used to live in seattle and got to meet jeff..what a cool dude and the shreddingest of them all...used to see Warrel and the guys out and about...never met them, but....I loved Nevermore and Sanctuary...and always will...
That's cool \m/ Jeff is definitely bad ass.
Yeah...paycheck lol
You can't blame him with the way the industry is today.... He doesn't write any music for them though, so his free time is probably spent on his solo albums.
nice interview but what the internet really want to know is: What happened with Schecter guitars? and how is the relationship now with Jackson Guitars!
he told me , he just wants to be able to play whatever guitar he wants onstage , and he just so happens to have a couple of Jacksons that he is going to tour with ,said hes not looking to get endorsed , but ya never know
that's really cool bro! Thanks.
your welcome ! ,yeah i was talking with him at Warrels memorial , he didnt say not to repeat what he said , dont want him upset with me lol
Great guitar player!
I never say this but, what a class act. Good interview.
thanks for the kind words !
Jeff Loomis is a God
I really dislike this interview format. It requires me to be watching the video so I know what the questions are, and it's also really obnoxious to blast loud riffs every 30 seconds.
nice job playing the same song clip way louder than the person you're interviewing. really enjoying adjusting the volume.
Jeffy!
Jeff Gloomis.
Good interview
ksylo thank you !!!
Yes I know, Jeff!
You could see that Jeff is still sad for Warrel. Fuck, me too :(
Warrel
what song is playing between questions? its badass
This video deserves a thumbs up just because of the cheeky intro song. Nicely played, Loud tv! XD
3:15 - It's the first time I've heard anyone referring to the Seattle's grunge movement and rightly so not mentioning Nirvana. And Soundgarden (1984) and Alice In Chains (1987) didn't start it, they were around long before the Grunge movement is said to have started. Pearl Jam were the "younger" of the 3 bands Jeff mentioned (1990).
funny thing is, my band shared a room with Alice In Chains at one end of the hall , at the other end of the hall was Nevermore , Warrel invited me in to their room back in 1991 when the 1st album was being written , we were also a metal band trying to stay a float through the grunge lol the place was called NAF that we practiced at !
The intro song is Just Another by Jinjer :)
Interesting and on topic questions ,interview had a nice flow.Mr Loomis surely plays for a decent band we all understand or can figure the reason why.
Since thought he has a legacy left en route ,why not leaving the convenience of payroll and go instead get a new singer that can actually perform Nevermore songs/keeping the legacy up.
I mean,who's gonna remember him in the end of the day as an Arch Enemy guitarist.
Not trying to get salty at all,the way he talks about Warrel (as the Warrel did about Jeff in the past) has dignity and you can realise he loved him.
But Jeff ,get your shit together man, Nevermore are bigger than this .Get the dragon in the river again!!!!
Bill Poulos thank you !
Play the same songs for 18 years while watching one of your best friends kill themselves via substance abuse. Eventually those songs get attached to a painful memory of fights and bad times overall and like he said, he's made a name for himself and it's time to hang it up. Also, legacy doesn't pay the bills.
We all grew up with memories that had a mixture of both good and bad incidents but its up to us to abstract and evaluate what we'd like to keep.For someone that keeps talking with such a compansionate tone about a person,yes its clearly what he'd like to reflect to us all.Its the right way to do after all,raise the level and keep the bad stuff among the family.
Nevertheless,i'd like to add as someone that did my fair share in the music industry,range of these bands have built up a legacy throughout the years that definitely have made em able to pay the bills.
Nowadays this is something impossible for most of the bands to achieve(especially under the genre of metal).
Even if we apparently approach it under different prism,my comment does not wanna to provoke anyone.
Jeff Loomis is a guy that refers to him with great respect and im sure he'll carry on with the legacy and the heritage Nevermore own,all that at some point.
cool
JEFF LOOMIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST... HE SHOULD STICK WITH NEVERMORE... JUST A NEW SINGER.. ARCH ENEMY WONT LET HIM SHINE... WHAT A TOOL.
The admirable "Id rather be poor and play my stuff" thing doesnt suit everybody bro.
What horrible lightning lol
Rest In Peace Warren :(
What is the song in background?
suranjan dey hi ! intro jinjer questions arch enemy
suranjan dey Blood In The Water by Arch Enemy
Thanks brothers
Jeff is the live action Skwiskgaar version
Rush Rayder yeah and tokie wartooth is akerfeldt of opeth
Alexi Laiho looks more like Skwiskgaar
His next album is going to be dead heart in an albino world 🌎
Very “rememorable” lmao
Jeff is is in Arch Enemy? Wow what a waste of talent...
Q: What does it feel to be the Robert Fripp of metal and be playing with a subpar copy paste band?
The biggest fart that I have ever laid was done while I was listening to " this Godless endeavor " from Nevermore. That memory has imprinted on me forever.
